Reviews:
“"Everybody Wants To Rule the World" sounds like an entirely different band than the mopey British duo that recorded 1983's pretty but pained The Hurting. It's big, and anthemic, and it sounds, for lack of a better descriptive term, American. Clearly, this song was designed for one main purpose: to crack the US charts in a big way, which it in fact did. Opening with a pealing guitar curlicue (and featuring not one but two hard-rocking guitar solos), the song dismisses the band's weedy synth-pop roots in favor of a more muscular sound. The middle eight could come out of a Def Leppard song! Lyrically, the first album's obsessions with Arthur Janov's primal scream therapy are jettisoned in favor of a more elliptical set of concerns. Frankly, the lyrics don't come together particularly well, but they sound good, and the chorus is a terrific singalong. This is one of the best pure chart pop singles of 1985.” AllMusic Review by Stewart Mason
“One of the most recognizable songs from the mid-eighties, “Shout” (along with “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”) became Tears for Fears signature moments (and became their second No. 1 U.S. single). For a band named after primal scream therapy, writing a song that wanted to protest the madness going on around them by,well, shouting, makes perfect sense. So in one respect, it’s their signature song because it sums up the purpose of the band (up to that point) so well. In another, its a signature song because of its utter simplicity. Driven by its percussion track, “Shout” adds layer after layer as the song progresses, but never strays from its purpose or gets weighted down by complex structures. The melodies remain simple even in the solos, the production never gets out of control. With “Shout,” Tears for Fears had found the most direct way to create a call-to-arms song that would remain in the pop consciousness for years.” AllMusic Review by Chris True
